Really, not trying to be argumentative, just trying to be educated and make a better decision. I'm not the type of guy that needs the best just because it's the best.

Well do you want a desktop version of your laptop or a new, faster desktop that will last you a number of years? How much time are you really spending in Lightroom?
I was also on the fence about an i7 or an i5 last year and went with the i5 because I don't spend enough time doing tasks that can take advantage of it and spent the money on more RAM instead.
